[instiz] IT’S OBVIOUS THAT K-POP HAS LOST POPULARITY IN NORTH AMERICA NOW

Let’s set aside the fact that I-DLE couldn’t sell out North America to begin with

but IVE sold out their last world tour, yet many venues on this tour haven’t even filled half their capacity.

It’s not just girl groups, boy groups are also facing serious empty seats.

1. The economic situation in the U.S. is serious right now, so this isn’t the time to be enjoying cultural activities

2. Weren’t those teams weak in terms of ticket sales in North America from the start??

3. First of all, why would Westerners be into Asians…

4. I heard that things are tough in the U.S. these days, and even their own artists are canceling shows

5. Even when looking at K-pop as a whole, only a handful of groups have found success in North America

6. ㅇㅇ They really fell off harder than male idols. But with the war going on, it’s gotten harder for foreigners to travel to the U.S., prices are skyrocketing, and it’s just not the right time to be going to music concerts

7. In the first place, the only popular groups in the U.S. are Bangtan, Stray Kids and TWICE, no one else

8. But did you have to use such a specific example?

9. Unless you have a strong core fandom, most K-pop shows are attended by fans of multiple groups. Concerts are happening more often so fans are going less and less…….

10. Gas prices are high enough as it is, but with prices rising due to tariffs, ordinary people are keeping their wallets tightly closed
